Style Inspiration
• 07 March 2012
Even though fancy labels are out of my league--unless they are found at the Rack, TJMaxx, Marshalls or Ebay--I love looking at high-end clothing for style inspiration (particularly French labels). Often you can glean an idea or two that can be easily incorporated into your closet without breaking the bank. Maybe it's a new color, or a different way to wear your belt, or a unique way to layer. Or maybe it's a style of sleeve you like, an exotic pattern or a pretty way to drape your scarf. Regardless, it's a fun thing to do if you need to spruce things up a bit in the clothing department without spending any (or little) money. It's a great way to fall in love {again} with what you already have.
Here are a few places I love to peek for inspiration...en français:
Vanessa Bruno (site has music fyi) / Comptoir des Cotonniers / Gat Rimon / A.P.C.
Where do you go for style inspiration? a blog? a magazine? Do tell s'il vous plaît.
p.s. did you know that the Marni for H&M hits stores today? Well, "select" stores so they say. I'm curious if anyone is going to check it out and if so, what do you think?

Comptoir des Cotonniers is a favorite of mine, too. Maje and Sandro are fun and for classic chic, I always like Claudie Pierlot.
ReplyDeletei love the Sartorialist blog and Garance Dore's blog.
ReplyDeleteMills, I love Maje too...how did I forget to include it?! So glad you mentioned it. I'll check out Claudie Pierlot--that's new-to-me. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteKatherine, yes I like those two as well. I should probably peek more often! I wonder if they are still an item...
